I currently have an HTC Desire. Probably the worst phone I have ever owned. I am planning to roll with the Samsung Galaxy S3 next, which will be next month. I hope the Android OS and keyboard is better than the Piece of $#@!ing $#@! I have now.

the S3 should be getting the Jelly Bean update in the next few months. Does rooting your phone make updating to the new OS difficult?

And how to the "leaked builds" of OS compare to the official release?

I definitely want to get rid of some of the pre-packaged crap that comes with the phone.

Also I am kinda sour on HTC (after the thunderbolt)... perhaps I should just give Samsung a try

frequent xda forums..... you'll be happy. Leaked builds of the official OS isn't bloat free. The builds that come from devs are sometimes bloatware removed, sometimes, not. There are a decent amount of builds that have support, threads, etc. to look at. If you like testing stuff out, etc., you'll like root/builds for sure.

Well don't count on that JB officially being released any time soon. That "in a couple of months" has been shouted out since the launch day. Verizon sucks at OTA stuff. Be prepared to flash a leak or build.

Well, the s2 leak is 4.1.2. And it is very stable. The difference from ics is startling...almost like a new phone..not a joke. I flashed all of the leak apart from the csc and have had no issues at all...i am on my 3rd with this jb leak. Battery is good, at least for me.

Oh, that's a definite upgrade lol. Heaven. I used the Desire for some hacking project, but other than that, I wouldn't have touched it.

I figured I would be "settling" for an S3, since my carrier (US Cellular) doesn't and won't carry the iPhone. I have to say, I REALLY like this S3 more than the iPhone 5 (based on checking out my step-dads iPhone 5).

The S3 has a big, but not so much so that it has hampered my ability to toss it in my front pocket. I am happy with my decision.
